Why is everyone so fast to take Tom's side, and toss Rita off? (long, I guess)

This petition has legs. I'm not making a call until we see the response, but the more we get into this, the more they are building a valid foundation. Obviously, that's the point and what they are trying to do with the petition; they aren't going to point out any of the problems with Rita, Ryan, or Renee. But facts are facts. Why groom these three people from very young to take things over, and all of a sudden do a 180? Yea, the rumors about Rita's rehab might be true. But nobody knows that right now. All we have is message board posters that claim to know this and that. Go read the rant and record what you see in a week's time. We would have Braxton Miller running an offense lead by Les Miles, with a defense run by triple-DCs, with Nick Saban calling plays in actuality. It's fricking laughable that people are believing what they read here.

Yea, people are saying all the right things about Gayle. Monty said, "She's just the typical, great Southern Belle." Oh she did this, she did that. But to get where she is at, do you think she's that stupid? She just might not be the angel everyone is making her out to be.

We don't know the details about what went on behind the scenes over the past few years, but you can't just keep citing, "Well, Rita goes through too many assistants!!!" as reason for her rightfully being gone. Look at it in terms of a movie (which is what it's turning into). Yea, Rita might be screwing up some things here and there. But Gayle could be in his ear, "Look what she did. You need to do something about this and get her gone." Not necessarily with the franchise's best interest in mind, but her own.

Hey, like I said, I'm not making a call either way. I'm pretty excited to see the response. All I'm saying is, slow down a little, and let's see what comes out.

Actually it is. Everyone is immediately picking a side. I'm pointing out opposition, saying well don't pick a side yet.

It's not THAT hard to comprehend.

Being a bitch, going to rehab, etc is not cause to lose everything you had been promised your entire life.

Can you fill us in on some of the draft discussions from the last few years? You are obviously involved in Saints front office decisions, so this should be easy for you.

It isn't a right what she had coming. Tom can do what the hell he wants. Her behaviors can certainly justify toms feelings on what's in the best interest of team. My bet is lauscha and company are more in toms ear than gayle

Well, as the OP, it might be. But there's no facts to say that's what happened.

Facts are facts, but all I see is a bunch of allegations. Allegations ain't facts brah.

Let's see what the doctors and Kearn Reese say.

It's not alleged that he sent her to meetings, put her in positions of importance, etc. He did all that with intentions of her taking over.

Also facts that she was "disciplined" at least twice and has dropped from the visible public radar. This didn't just come out of nowhere.

If he is found to be sound mentally, she is out. She is obviously a huge disappointment.

I'm confused on why the also targeted Ryan LeBlanc. WTF did this guy do to cause the animosity by his grandfather towards him? Rita--okay she is a fricking idiot, case closed and okay she shouldn't be in that position but to oust Ryan LeBlanc from the automobile dealerships he was managing (has nothing to do with the Pelicans/Saints) just seems really abnormal and unusual.

There is a lot more here than what has been presented thus far so I look forward to the response to the lawsuit which I suspect will be filled with personal allegations. But I just don't understand why he would take these steps against the grandson who the complete opposite of what Rita LeBlanc is.

You are right. But if someoe might be old and unstable, that "changing of the mind" might be taken away from someone with much at stake.
